Ava shut her eyes tightly, fighting back the tears that tried so hard to leak through. I have failed as a mother. I was supposed to protect her with my life, she thought to herself. After a moment of silence she opened her eyes, "L-Lucinda, i'm so sorry. I wished I could've done something to prevent that from happening," she whimpered. Moments after saying that she remembered the harsh words Cole had told her. It bothered her greatly that Lucinda didn't think she was ever good enough for her own mother.
Lucinda sighed "No mom, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted like a pup. I got myself into all this mess just because of my fault. Messing up the pack, angering you and now facing you is humiliating to me. Go ahead yell at me, I deserver it for being so bad" she said "I'm sorry I'm not strong, or like Dalton" she said
Tiny looked at Lucinda and felt pain "L-Lucinda, it's not your fault. It's no ones fault. Not even Ava's. Sometimes things happen in life, some things you want to forget or take back. Well those are moments you have to live with and your mother will always love you, no matter how much you mess up, that's why she's your mother. Her job is to love her pups, and make sure their safe, but sometimes that pup will wondered onto a bad path, and a mothers job is to guide their pups, but if their pups chooses to be a bad pup then it will end badly. But Lucinda your not bad, your beautiful, strong and smart. Nothing could make your mother or me mad, well unless it was something really bad, but your not like that" she said.
Ken looked at Tiny "You've become just like your mother Tiny" he whispered.
Jack nodded in agreement with Tiny "Lucinda you should have heard what you said to Sol that day. what I heard where fighting words of a brave, smart, wild female wolf ready to live longer and stop Sol. I heard your words and I was shocked to hear words like that. I never heard any wolf talk like that" he said with a smile
